I already posted them in this thread http://67.15.62.79/forums/showthread.php?t=152184 so I figured I would link you there. Had I thought about it, I would have made a separate thread for it.
LFP H/E install pictures
- Thread starter Chris_H

Thanks! It was a pretty easy and staright forward install. Just wanted to make sure it was done right, and with taking the pictures, it took a little longer.
Looks really good the one thing I would suggest is puting up some kind of screening to protect the HE from bugs and road debris, i have a freind who out one like your in and it already has a few bent spots from crap hitting it, just a suggrestion, good write up by the way
I was looking into getting one, but 2 people on here who make them have never gotten back to me :shrug: I guess I will have to fab up one of my own. Thanks for the compliment :thumbsup:

Excellant write up man. I just installed my LFP H/E yesterday and I wanted to add for anyone who may run into the problem I had, which is that the drivers side hose was way to short to reach the new outlet location. The fix is easy. The hose bracket that's on the passenger side that holds the metal tubing in place can be loosened to allow the pipes to slide, allowing for the extra length I need to make my hoses connect to the fittings. :beer:

Hmmmmm, so I didn't have to bend that bracket to get it to fit!? I figured it could be undone some to get extra length, but it was just as quick and easy to bend the bracket :kaboom: Oh well, live and learn! I hope this helped if you used it to install yours!

thanks for the info man. I should be installing mine this weekend and the pics help alot thanks man.
And for what it's worth, you DO NOT have to take off the front bumper to do the work. It made it easier for me to take the pictures and to take my time with it. If I don't have to lay on my back to get the job done, I would rather not. Having taken the bumper off once, I could probably get it off the car by myself in less than 10 minutes. Definitely worth doing.

Thanks! I posted some pics in the 1 hour photo and asked for some help. MustangMike made this one for me and it's great! :rockon: Now if I could just learn, or better yet find the time to learn, how to use photoshop I would give it a try on my own.

How much coolant must be drained? Trying to plan ahead & make sure I have enough coolant on hand.
Sorry GTE, I didn't even notice you had posted in here. Between the new resivoir and the H/E I added 1 gallon of distilled water and that was it. There was enough coolant in the intercooler that I didn't worry about adding anymore. We rarely get below freezing here, and we almost never stay below it for more than 1/2 a day.
Trmin8r, glad the write up helped! Would like to see how the car looks with it on if you have any pics.

I'll take some pics and add them.
As for installation.... Take the bumper cover off. It takes about ten minutes, but will save a lot of time, and gives you so much more room. A trim tool would be a really nice thing to have handy while you are doing this.
